Baking: Heart Shaped Cake

Hey Guys!!

 

So thanks to my sister posting about her brownies she baked, I really wanted to bake a cake, I love baking anyway but it just really made me want to bake :)

 

I used my usual recipe which you can go over and try out HERE

 

All you need is:

 

110g Self Raising Flour

110g Caster Sugar

110g Butter/Marge

1-2tbsp Milk

1tsp Vanilla Extract

2 Free Range Eggs

 

 

Silly me didn't take any photos while I was mixing it :( but I did take a photo of the mix when I put it into the moulds :)

 

 

I put this in the oven on Gas Mark 4 and baked it for roughly 15-30 minutes to make sure it was baked all the way through. Once I took it out and let it cool before I put jam on the bottom layer and then put the top layer on :)

 

 

To decorate the cake I used:

 

Chocolate Fudge Icing

Gold Shimmer Spray

Glitter Sugar

Pink Icing Pen

 

 

I covered the whole cake in the chocolate icing, I must say in the pictures it looks like a big cake but it is actually only small and is enough for 2 people :) Once I finished the chocolate icing, I then sprayed the whole cake gold and it looked so nice and shiny :) then I put a bit of glitter sugar on and wrote a little message on it with my pink icing pen and this was the finished product :)

 

 

I just love how metallic it looks and I must say it tastes really delicious, though I think I may have put to much jam in the middle but still it tasted gorgeous :)

 

I hope you enjoyed this post and I'm hopefully going to do some more baking next week :)

 

See You Soon!!
